Entry to UOW for Year 12 students

All domestic Year 12 students applying to commence studying at UOW next year must apply through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). 

Year 12 School Leavers

If you’re a Year 12 student applying for an undergraduate place, you apply to UOW through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).

Admission to most undergraduate degrees at UOW is by Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) only. UAC provides all HSC students with application information and guides outlining the minimum rank needed to qualify for each degree. Some courses have additional application criteria so you may also need to submit an additional application form to UOW or attend an interview or audition.

International students completing the HSC is Australia can find out more on the International High School Students web site.

If you don’t meet the required ATAR for your degree of choice, UOW College offers university preparation courses that can provide a pathway to study at UOW.
